 3  ADHD, excessive daytime sleepiness I just started this morning. I am 28 yr old female,105 lbs.. I took it about 45 minutes ago and can tell I am much more awake than I usually am at 6:30am. However, my mind isn't racing, I don't feel high or weird like I thought I might. My dr/psych. told me to eat with it so I did eat a granola bar beforehand. We will see how the day goes. I am worried about weight loss, b/c I def. don't need to lose anymore weight. Now, let's see if I can get to work on time..... F 28 1 days

 2  ADHD, excessive daytime sleepiness Not working so well... Day 2 @ noon: I also have fibromyalgia and Ive noticed that this is making my pain levels increase. It's like I'm still tired and could take a nap right now (if I had the day off). After 2 days I have pretty much decided this is not for me...I took it for ADHD and so I could stay awake during the day. It is not helping with focus/concentration at all, but I'm not exhausted either. Just tired. I'm going to try it for a few more days to be sure. It hasnt affected my appetite much. I still eat a normal amount of food, but have noticed that I don't urinate as much as I used to...no idea why. It feels similar to Nuvigil for me. F 28

 2  ADHD, excessive daytime sleepiness Its just not going to work for me...not very effective, I'm going to ask my dr. for something else next week. I still cant sit still and focus at work. The only thing positive that I can say is that I'm not going str8 to bed after work. I'm not exhausted like I was but still very tired...I guess my expectations were too high :-( F 28
